Luminis IV success!

Well, at least the resource tier and calendar. After finding the known issue list on the support site, and removing the conflicting packages, as well as disabling the admin console, the resource tier installed just fine.

However, our calendar would not install on a separate box. No amount of package management seemed to help. Friday I decided to install the calendar on a different box, different zone. Theoretically, all our zones are equal. We used the exact same very basic procedure to create all zones. So I wasn't expecting success, but... it worked.

At that point, I decided to reinstall the calendar zone and try it again. Now it complained about cp.root having already been set. After grep'ing around, I found that cp.root was no where to be found in the calendar zone, so I assumed (correctly as it turns out) that cp.root for the calendar installation had been set by my test installation on the other box.

So I rolled back our resource tier zone using a zfs snapshot to a pre-calendar installed state, and tried again on my freshly built calendar zone. And it worked.

At this point, I do not know what was wrong, but I'm going to move forward and install our PD boxes and email just to have a functional system.

curious about fs and cpu

I'm wondering now how many others are using zfs and whether they also have been successful? I also just read the few lines in the install doc that suggest luminis IV on solaris is only supported on SPARC (while RedHat is supported with x86) and wondering if everyone has been using SPARC if anyone has tried (and more importantly) been successful with Solaris 10 x86?

oh, btw, congratulations! ;)

I hadn't picked up on

I hadn't picked up on Luminis IV being only supported on Solaris SPARC. I went back and re-read the install guide, then verified with SungardHE support, and sure enough Solaris 10 on x86 is NOT supported. They said, if we want to run on an x86 Unix platform, we should use Linux...
